The list environment is a generic environment which is used for
defining many of the more specific environments. It is seldom used in
documents, but often in macros.
\begin{list}{label}{spacing}
\item First item
\item Second item
.
.
.
\end{list}
The {label} argument specifies how items should be labelled.
This argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the
label. This argument can and usually does contain other LaTeX commands.
The {spacing} argument contains commands to change the spacing
parameters for the list. This argument will most often be null, i.e.,
{}. This will select all default spacing which should suffice
for most cases.
